Great and very informative video. I'm having my favorite shop install my front shocks in 2 weeks and I can't wait. I just installed the HD 044 rear shocks myself and what an improvement. Please keep the videos coming.

How'd it turn out with the front shocks?

This is so amazing, The amount of science that is gone into this is just mind blowing. Nothing against normal dealers but I think If I wanted to best bang for the buck you want to have one of the professionals install and set it up.

Ohlins will work with your local dealer and answer any questions they have, or you could just have your local HD dealer watch this video 😉. But seriously these guys know their product inside and out.

@@dabeard_ Is the installation free at the rally you were at? If so, I’m going to look up which rallies they’ll be attending and have them perform the install. They know what they’re doing. They’re the pros and it’s a breeze with them installing it. There’s no ‘learning’ with someone from the dealership because they don’t install many of these 🤦🏻♂️.
@HawkQFI2 жыл бұрын
My understanding is that installation is between $300-350 after getting an email from the Ohlins guys. I've ordered a set of FKS- 228s for my 20 FLHTK and will do the work myself. I'm not a wiz mechanically but with patience and care I'm not too worried about doing it. Just have to have a little confidence and video's like this help an awful lot.

Thanks for making detailed install video. Post cartridge install ride, how different is handling & road feel ? Also, Please help share your riding experience/findings after (Front & Back) Ohlins upgrade. I'm running stock suspension on 20-ultra & looking to do an upgrade to achieve best comfort, handling, & road feel. Many thx

@chazzcapone.2 жыл бұрын
@@BaggersandBrews When you say night and day difference give some examples like you did when you mentioned going over bridge abutments …. Those joints in the road where the bike is usually jarred or you nearly fly off the bike with the stock shocks. The new shocks absorb the bump without nearly losing control or worse. I think the bearded guy said that the bike now glides over those bumps without any issues. Heck, maybe record your going over bumps so we can see. Thanks

Is it necessary to change the fork seals when doing the Ohlins cartridge change ? If yes, is there a mileage where they should be changed? what if the bike has under 200 miles ?
@BaggersandBrews Жыл бұрын
There is an answer, check out the ocean city video where they do the install on Burt's bike and they go into how they make that decision. His fork seals were changed. if you are under 200 miles you're fine, unless for some weird reason the bike or the forks are super old .
